Av Weaver reached the rank of Star Captain and won a [[Weaver (Bloodname)]]. However, his long career mustn't have been impressive, as, after reaching the old age, was assigned to command a [[Binary]] of the [[47th Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Forty-seventh Garrison Cluster]], assigned to [[Wayside V]] before [[3054]].<ref>''Forever Faithful'', ch. 33</ref>
Because Wayside V lacked an [[HPG]] station, he and his garrison ignored his Clan's ''de facto'' annihilation during [[Operation BULLDOG]]. They didn't find out about the Inner Sphere offensive until 12 August [[3061]], when a small fleet arrived in system. Under his command was the former Jaguar [[Paul Moon]] and [[Trent (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Baldur]]. After seven years without contact, he and his people were devastated by the news of the Jaguars' annihilation, and scandalized to know than the newly arrived warriors did not want to restore their Clan, but instead preserve its "essence." Weaver's subordinates [[Star Commander]] [[McLean Hoyt]] and [[Reed Bowen]], made note of the difficulties such an endeavor would encounter. Lacking alternatives, Av welcomed Moon and his people and agreed to try.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', ch. 33</ref>
 
  
The opportunity to fight again would present itself within a few months: on 25 May [[3062]], [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] forces arrived in system, led by Galaxy commander [[Rik Myers]], a man obsessed with absorbing what remained of the Jaguars. A battle plan was drawn, and it required a delaying action. As Weaver and his Binary weren't settling well in the ex-Jaguar colony, they were chosen to fight in what amounted to little more than a suicide battle. Baldur was put in command of the Binary. Naturally, Av was enraged and asked for a [[Trial of Grievance]], but Baldur convinced him to stand down. Moved by his words, Weaver submitted to Baldur's authority.

As the planet hadn't an [[HPG]], he and his garrison ignored his Clan's ''de facto'' annihilation during [[Operation BULLDOG]]. They didn't knew what happened until the 12 August [[3061]], when a little fleet arrived on system. At his command was the former Jaguar [[Paul Moon]] and [[Trent (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Baldur]]. After seven years without news, he and his people were devastated by the news, and scandalized to knew than the newly arrived didn't want to restore their Clan, but to preserve its essence.

The [[Battle of the Straits]], on 2 June, was fought in a narrow part Strait. During the battle, Weaver was so impressed by Baldur's courage than he proclaimed Baldur was never a Nova Cat, but in truth, forever a Smoke Jaguar.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', ch. 34-35</ref>
 
  
The battle was a victory, but a costly one: only Weaver and two of his former Jaguar warriors survived. Paul Moon later claimed than he had cheated death with a tenacity comparable to Baldur's, though the later died in a hospital.
